2-3 days of non stopping hiccups

[muscledoc1]

Iv'e been getting them for the past month on and off-when i do they dont stop for 2-3 days....sucks!!!(it wakes me up at night)-the only way i found to stop them is to blow all my air out and then sip water REAL slow until im about to choke...that resets the diaphragm i guess.the other option i have i dont want-THORAZINE at 25-50mg.

I have some cmpressed disc's in my neck and whenever I get a cortizone injection I get hiccups for day's. Any correlation??

 

[njpooldude]

Next time u get them, sit down, close your eyes and relax, then place the pointer finger from each hand pressing lightly onto your forehead...

works every time... but dont ask me how

saw it on tv

For me they are usually induced by stress/anxiety. If I stop and focus only on forcing my hiccup to come early - it works for me every time. I think it is mostly the stop and focus on one thing part of it that does the trick.

It's a spasm in your diaphragm, you need to stretch it out. Breath in as deep as possible, then once you inhaled all you can, swallow air into your lungs to force it to stretch more; hold it for as long as you can.

It works for me every time. I figured this out years ago.

might sound crazy, but drinking water while upside down has worked every single time for me. Take a big mouthful of water, then prop yourself upside down on the couch or something with your head hanging off and swallow all the water. Sounds kinda weird, but ive never had it not work

this is simple

but it works for me if I get them.....relax, deep breaths, controlled....close your eyes and try to clear your mind...it works for me.

hiccups and the liver

my best mate had really bad hiccups and noticed that he had a slight bloat in his upper stomach.

he went into hospital and it ended up that he had tumours on his liver. fair enough he did kick the arse out the gear doing 2.5g of test a week for years on end , which probably added to it but i just wanted to post this up. Chronic hiccups can have a more underlying dark cause.

I'm not here to cause widespread panic but i just wanted to let you know, especially as we're seeing more people getting health problems. I dont know your health background after all but my mate was and still is really in a bad way over it. the tumours ( all 16 of them) have shrunk and he is on the mend but it was fucking horrible seeing him in the state he was in. I'd go round his apartment and he'd just be sat there in agony after a while constantly hiccupping.

yes... spasm!! i had those fuckers for a week last year!!! they wouldn't stop... it was very painful and i couldn't sleep. doc put me on prifinium bromide (the medication was called riabal) 30 mg twice per day. went away within 2 days.

Last year I caught the flu or whatever crud was going around and started hiccuping, It out lasted the flu, almost two weeks. And then it stopped. Who knows why. Anyway if I was still married I would have used the cure that has been most succesful for me, that is french kissing. A lot more fun than breathing into a paper bag!

Two or three days is nothing. I had hiccups every day for 3wks! Now that sucked. I had to work with a guy that was slow as molasses and dumb as a bag of rocks. Normally I would just get pissed and tell someone like that to shut the hell up and get moving. For some reason I just never got pissed but the stress gave me hiccups. As bad as it sucked it was some of the best ab work I've ever done, LOL. Once I got home from work they would go away.

Try everything you read here and maybe something will hit on your hiccup spot. Hiccups can be due to psychological effect as well?

JT any comments?

I have also suffered from 2-3 day hiccups and have found for myself only two ways to cure them.

1. Have someone plug your ears tightly as you drink a glass of water. ( I know it sounds strange but it works.)
2. Now this is gross but effective every time. Stick your fingers down your throat and gag yourself to the point of vomiting. Repeat until hiccups are gone...usually a few attempts dp the trick. This is one I came up with myself after 3 days of missery.

I have a friend who is a very good doctor, and he explained the difference between hiccups that are caused by psychological problems and physiological. if it wakes you up at night, it's definately physiological. hiccups caused by psychological issues won't wake you up from your sleep
